Low-quality evidence suggested no benefit of antiseptic meatal cleaning regimens be<strong>for</strong>e orduring catheterization to prevent <strong>CAUTI</strong>. 65,67,68,88,158,212-216,246,247 This was based on no differencein the risk of bacteriuria in patients receiving periurethral care regimens compared to those notreceiving them. One study found a higher risk of bacteriuria with cleaning of the urethralmeatus-catheter junction (either twice daily application of povidine-iodine or once daily cleaningwith a non-antiseptic solution of green soap <strong>and</strong> water) in a subgroup of women with positivemeatal cultures <strong>and</strong> in patients not receiving antimicrobials. Periurethral cleaning withchlorhexidine be<strong>for</strong>e catheter insertion did not have an effect in two studies.Q2C.6. Routine catheter or bag changeLow-quality evidence suggested no benefit of routine catheter or drainage bag changes toprevent <strong>CAUTI</strong>. 102,217-219,248,249 This was based on no difference or an increased risk of SUTI <strong>and</strong>no difference in bacteriuria with routine compared to as-needed changes or with more frequentchanging intervals. One study in nursing home residents found no differences in SUTI withroutine monthly catheter changes compared to changing only <strong>for</strong> obstruction or infection, but thestudy was underpowered to detect a difference. Another study in home care patients found anincreased risk of SUTI when catheters were changed more frequently than monthly.Q2C.7. Catheter lubricantsVery low-quality evidence suggested a benefit of using lubricants <strong>for</strong> catheter insertion. 167,220-223,250-254 This was based on a decreased risk of SUTI <strong>and</strong> bacteriuria with the use of a prelubricatedcatheter compared to a catheter lubricated by the patient <strong>and</strong> a decreased risk ofbacteriuria with use of a lubricant versus no lubricant. Studies were heterogeneous both in theinterventions <strong>and</strong> outcomes studied. Several studies comparing antiseptic lubricants to nonantisepticlubricants found no significant differences.Q2C.8. Securing devicesLow-quality evidence suggested no benefit of using catheter securing devices to prevent<strong>CAUTI</strong>. 224 This was based on no significant difference in the risk of SUTI or meatal erosion. Theonly study in this category looked at one particular product.Q2C.9. Bacterial interferenceModerate-quality evidence suggested a benefit of using bacterial interference in catheterizedpatients. 225 In the one study evaluating this intervention, urinary colonization with a nonpathogenicEscherichia coli was associated with a decreased risk of SUTI in adults with spinalcord injury <strong>and</strong> a history of frequent <strong>CAUTI</strong>.Q2C.10. Catheter cleansingVery low-quality evidence suggested a benefit of wet versus dry storage procedures <strong>for</strong>catheters used in clean intermittent catheterization. 255 This was based on a decreased risk ofSUTI with a wet storage procedure in one study of spinal cord injury patients undergoing cleanintermittent catheterization compared to a dry storage procedure where the catheter was left toair dry after washing. In the wet procedure, the catheter was stored in a dilute povidone-iodinesolution after washing with soap <strong>and</strong> water.Q2C.11. Catheter removal strategies43
